Care home hog roast in Chidham, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. We are often asked to cater retirement housing events and open days, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
Rural care homes near Chidham can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In late May, sunset in Chidham is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
